Toddler Facial Rash

2771111?1208012961
I noticed that there is a whole discussion from a few years ago about toddler facial rashes. My 18-month-old daughter has a rash (just red bumps - no itching, oozing, crusting, etc.) around her mouth which started about 8 weeks ago. It comes and goes and has seemed to spread to under her left eye. She is a normal, healthy toddler who eats normal foods (she does love her fruits and veggies, and we don't eat a lot of processed foods) and I haven't asked the Dr. about it yet because it seems to go away sometimes, but then flares up again. From all I've read here, everything from antibiotics to expensive creams have been tried to no avail. Any help or advice about this?
Also, she had white spots in her mouth and on her tongue last week which went away (I did take her to the Pediatrician for this, as it worried me and she kept complaining of the pain), but not she's got another white spot on her upper lip. Could this be Thrush? Finally, through the last 8 weeks, my daughter has had two colds (well, we all have...oh, and did I mention that, in the midst of all this, I gave birth to our second daughter who has only experienced the colds, not the rash or white spots...).
Any advice?
